The aim of the project was to turn a palace of the XVII century into a modern and luxurious hotel.

In this type of building the air conditioning is always very energy consuming. With Distech Controls’ BMS, these costs are monitored and likely to be more controlled. The building owner or facility manager can access the historics and create alarms to improve service in an environment where comfort is the main objective.

The requirement for this new building was a sunblind control fully integrated with the BMS to perform sun tracking, and allow the users to override control with a wireless solution.

Distech Controls’ LonWorks RCL-Blind controllers enabled to integrate seamlessly the sunblind control within a third-party BMS. The infrared receivers connected to the sunblind controllers and the infrared remote controls allow the users to override the automatic sunblind positioning.
